William Mackenzie married Cassandra Wood, a beautiful young woman from a notable family. But he was seen as a useless son-in-law in Wood Family. Because of his job as a shop keeper, he was treated like a trash in his wife's family. He even served the Woods without any complaint. However, 3 years passed, there was a man came to him. "General, we need your power. Would you come back to the Kingdom?"
view moreThe Wood family was currently gathered together in their living room after the engagement ceremony between Shirley Wood, the youngest of the Wood family and Peter Green, the son of the gold mine owner at Carlo Hill.
Cassandra Wood who was the older sister of Shirley, was sitting on the edge and didn't seem to like being there. Several times she saw her husband being a servant to her family. She was upset. Very upset. How could she not? Her husband had no authority whatsoever and was often the target of her family. She really wanted to see her husband fight back, at least once. But, in fact, until they had been married for almost three years, Bill was still the same. Still becoming a useless son-in-law to her family. "Hurry up and fill this glass, Bill!" Shirley ordered her brother-in-law. Bill calmly picked up the bottle of red wine and opened it quickly and refilled Shirley's glass. He then stood next to the old man who was Cassandra's grandfather, Christopher Wood who had a pointed face like a crow. Shirley smiled happily and sipped her wine slowly. "You see, don't you, dear? My brother-in-law is so kind to serve us all so well," she told Peter. Peter Green, the man who would soon marry Shirley, smiled with satisfaction, "That's right. You're very lucky, dear." "Of course. Our Bill has a true heart, he'll do whatever we tell him to do," George Wood said, Shirley's older brother who was also Bill's brother-in-law. Bill didn't respond at all and turned to his wife, "Cassie, do you want me to fill your glass again?" "No, I don't," Cassandra replied curtly. "How about the dessert?" Bill asked. "No need," Cassandra replied and got up from her chair. "Grandpa, I'm sorry, I have to go to my room, I'm so tired," the beautiful woman with blonde hair argued. Not waiting for an answer, she left the living room. Bill quickly took off his apron and followed his wife. The woman did not go to their room, but she went to the rooftop. Cassandra knew her husband was following her, and pushed Bill away and hit him with her body. "Why, Bill? Why do you have to be such a coward? Don't you have any self-respect? Why don't you fight them?" She didn't stop hitting and Bill didn't seem to want to interfere with her venting her anger. Bill just waited until she got tired of hitting him. "What did I do wrong to marry a trash like you?" Cassandra shouted. Bill was silent. He thought answering his wife's words would only make her angrier. "Why do you want to be their servant, Bill? Tell me why!" Cassandra urged, unable to stand it. Bill couldn't possibly tell her the truth. It was still his big secret. "Tell me! Why don't you ever defend yourself? I'm sick of it, Bill. So sick of seeing weak men like you." The woman then began to cry in frustration. When Bill tried to touch her, Cassandra pulled away. "You can't even defend yourself, how can I possibly put up with you? Let's just get a divorce, Bill!" Bill froze in place as soon as he heard that. "Divorce?" "Yes. Let's get divorced! I hate you." "Why we must get divorce?" Bill asked. "Why, you said? After all, we only got married because grandma asked us to, not because we liked each other." Cassandra turned around and looked the other way. Bill approached his wife and touched her arm but she still refused. "I know, but-" "But what? Never mind, it's better if we go our separate ways. There's no point in being together," Cassandra said, still unwilling to look at her husband's face. "I can't." Cassandra laughed sarcastically, "Come on! Look at you! You're just a worker at a fruit stall in the market. What can I expect from you?" The woman sat down on a chair, staring ahead. Bill followed her and sat beside her even though he knew she didn't like it. "What's wrong with that, Cassie?" Cassandra really wanted to strangle her husband. "You know I work in an office, I'm a secretary in a big company. Don't you ever think about how embarrassed I am to have a husband who has such a lowly job?" Cassandra paused for a moment, before continuing, "You have no idea how they mock me. Loser husband, no self-respect, living hand to mouth. I'm the one who-" "Cassie-" "Don't interrupt me yet! Let me talk!" Cassandra pleaded and she was now back on her feet. The woman seemed ready to explode again, and Bill could see that very clearly. "Because of you, I'm underestimated, Bill. So, never mind, let's end it all. I can't take it anymore." Bill shook his head and gingerly touched his wife's hand. "No, I won't. I will never let you go." Cassandra clicked her tongue in exasperation, "If you won't do that, then I'll be the one to sue you in court." "Don't do that. Please, Cassie. Give me a chance to change!" Cassandra sighed tiredly. If only her husband had said that long ago, she would have immediately supported him. However, right now she was really very tired. Waiting for Bill to change for three years was not a short time. She had gone through so many trials and insults in her marriage with Bill, she didn't want to go through it again. For her, it was enough. "Your chance is gone," Cassandra said. Bill began to despair, "Give me a chance to change!" Cassandra was still silent, not even intending to reply. "Just one time," Bill said seriously. Thinking for a long time, Cassandra, who initially looked hesitant, finally replied, "Okay. One chance, if you don't change, I'll file for divorce." A smile appeared on Bill's lips. "Okay." He had been unable to apply for a good job because it meant he had to use his real identity. He couldn't do that because it would mean revealing his identity to the public. He couldn't do it yet, there was still one thing that made him have to hide his true identity. "That's it, dear. I'm coming down." Cassandra groaned in annoyance again but was too lazy to say anything so she just kept quiet as she watched her husband leave the rooftop. When Bill returned to the living room, his grandfather-in-law was already glaring at him. "Where have you been? The guest glass is empty." "Talking to Cassie for a while, Gramps." "Hurry up and fill Peter's glass!" Bill sighed, trying to restrain himself and quickly picked up the wine bottle and poured the drink into Peter's empty glass. Peter smiled mockingly. "Come here for a moment, future brother-in-law!" Peter said, asking Bill to come closer. The man was actually reluctant to respond but he also wanted to know what Peter wanted so he bowed slightly. "Your wife is very beautiful, can I approach her?" Peter whispered in a low voice. Bill instantly stiffened. "How dare you!" Bill shouted."Maybe yes ... maybe no," James replied.His eyes couldn't stop staring at the airplane with the large weasel emblem belonging to the De Kruk Kingdom.His answer did sound ambiguous to Ben's ears. But James really couldn't be sure.Ben took off his protective goggles and took one more look at the airplane that looked like it was about to land."I'll find out," Ben said at last.James didn't stop him and just said, "Be careful!""Take it easy, I won't go too close. I just want to know who's on that plane. The matter of capturing Prince De Kruk should of course be you," Ben explained while holding back a smile.James snorted, "You're giving me a tough job. Wow! What a loyal friend!"Ben laughed with satisfaction, "Hey, I'm self-aware. I'm definitely no match for that prince who can mess things up. You or Riley are the ones who can definitely deal with him."Hearing his best friend's name mentioned again, James grimaced, "He's not here, why do you say that?"Ben shrugged, "You don't know
"Hm," Evan replied without glancing at Gareth.Still unwilling to turn his head, the prince continued speaking, "The rain has stopped. What are you waiting for, Dee?"Gareth's face instantly flushed with unstoppable anger. He was also fighting with himself about two decisions, namely kicking Evan De Kruk off the battlefield or just killing him.Only the man standing not far from him dared to call him by that last name with no trace of politeness. He didn't mind Evan not treating him as a person of high rank, he just didn't like seeing Evan's mocking and dismissive gaze.Oh, how Gareth hated that prince who he found so troublesome. He knew Evan De Kruk also hated him because the position he currently held, that of War General, was the position held by Evan. He thought Evan hated him because he felt like he was usurping the position. But, of course, that wasn't true. Gareth did not usurp the position at all. It was because of Evan's own stupidity and failure to lose to the Ans De Lou
Seren immediately fell down sadly, unable to speak anymore. Seeing that his queen was no longer speaking, Thomas said, "I'm leaving now."Seren simply nodded and let her husband walk away without another word.When Thomas was some distance away, Seren fell to her knees. She burst into tears, mourning her husband's departure.The queen's personal attendant quickly helped her to her feet, but she shook her head.With her chest heaving, she said between tears as she looked at the maid who looked sadly at her, "I have not been able to give birth to a son for him, but ... it is not my fault. I ...."She stopped speaking, feeling that it was useless for her to pour out all her emotions. Because, her husband still wouldn't care."Your Majesty, don't be sad! His Majesty is only doing his duty as a king. If Prince Evan is killed on the battlefield, things will be difficult," the servant who had such a close relationship with her queen that she was not afraid to give her opinion, said.Seren s
Seeing that Maxen did not reply, Thomas said again in a quick tone, "What should I do if I do not have a successor? What would this kingdom be without a king? Do you want this kingdom to be colonized and taken over by another kingdom?"Maxen Dee, the thirty-five-year-old prime minister instantly bowed his head, unable to look back at the king. Slowly he finally ventured to answer, "Your Majesty, I beg your forgiveness. I-""Never mind," Thomas interrupted, looking annoyed but also tired.He turned his gaze back to the monitor in front of him and remained silent for a few moments as he stared at it thoughtfully. Maxen was beginning to worry. Ah, he hated the situation and his sensitivity. He had been watching the development of the political ways of the king who was only three years older than him. Thanks to that, he could guess Thomas's train of thought.When Thomas was silent like that, he would usually make a decision that was quite dangerous. Thus, he stayed in his seat anxiousl
Hans Elgor, the staff of the De Kruk Kingdom who was tasked with being a spy for Thomas De Kruk to be by Evan De Kruk's side, could only gape while still staring at the prince without daring to blink.Seeing the shock on Hans' face, Evan smiled coldly and said again, "Or next time if he wants to talk to me again, just ignore him. That's much easier for you, right?"Hans was unable to reply and Evan didn't care at all. Evan knew very well that Hans was placed near him by his brother who was very fond of annoying him. Although his brother, who was the king of De Kruk Kingdom, gave him permission, he understood that Thomas would not let him go so easily. This was because Evan, who was not only the second prince of the kingdom, was also the temporary crown prince who would inherit the throne of De Kruk Kingdom if Thomas was no longer on the throne.Of course this was because Thomas De Kruk had not been blessed with a son until that moment. He only had a daughter who obviously could not
Meanwhile, inside one of the De Kruk Kingdom's fighter planes, a 36-year-old man was staring through the window, smiling with satisfaction at the destruction of some of the Ans De Lou Kingdom's key territories.His eyes flashed as he saw how the kingdom was almost under his feet.A subordinate suddenly approached, "Your Highness."Evan De Kruk's smile instantly faded and he immediately turned a cold gaze on the person who had interrupted his fun. What's more he heard the person call him 'Your Highness'? "What did you call me?" he asked with a cold, piercing gaze. Evan stood up from his chair. The subordinate immediately turned pale. His legs were suddenly shaking but he couldn't move because the prince hadn't given him any orders to do so."Don't you know or are you tired of living?" Evan asked in a horrible tone of voice.He really hated anyone who called him that. He didn't feel special about it. Although he was a prince, more precisely the second son of the previous king, he h
